Ask here your questions about advanced usage of Mageia. For example you may post here all your questions about network and automated installs, complex server configurations, kernel tuning, creating your own Mageia mirrors, and all tasks likely to be touchy even for skilled users.

My Mageia system is behaving in a weird way. gkrellm is stuttering - its resource graphs just cycle forward and then back every other second rather than showing resource utilization continuously. A ps command reveals that there are three (!) copies of systemd running, two of them with subordinate (sd-pam) and gpg-agent processes, and two copies of both dbus-launch and dbus-daemon running. This can't be normal. Before I reboot and hope that this behavior goes away, the output of a ps command is attached below. Any advice to help me diagnose and fix this will be welcome.

Your post indicates trouble with gkrellm but provides no info about gkrellm. I personally have two copies of gkrellm running because one copy isn't sufficient to display all the stuff I want to see. They are both working normally. They do sometimes malfunction, but I blame this on kwin-x11; sometimes I have malfunctions in pretty much any individual window.
